Application filed October I exnct'deseription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it :ippertziins to make and use the smne.

The invention relates to the methed of mid means for applying tires to \'(.lll 3l(3-\i'llij0l5 without the requirement of hhiiied lnhor or necessitating the cutting and sliri nhing' of the tire upon he wheel.

The invention consists in n novel manner of applying tires to \'()lilil J--Wl|i?0l:-3 by ins rting between the tirennd l'eily nn iniernieilini'e layer of lirepronf nmterinl nnd :1 compound which hard at ordinnry ienipernifnre, but is softened on the appiirntion oi hent, so as to enable the tire to be pinned in position in the neroinpnnyingdrnwin rn, i igure i is; a lace View of n sertion oi it \'ilii( ,lLt "--'li00l, showing the tire applied by the ini ioreiil method. iii eu 2 is n trnnsverse section of the same; Fig. 3, {in enlarged lrnnfiverse smeiion of the inniorinl.

In applying tires to vehicle-wheels hex-elm i'ore either in ihe first insinnee or when the tire llOLUlllLH loose by the shrinking of the wooden partner from oiherrnnses it n'nnionnd necessary to cut the tire, ren'eld the seine,

l The material for enlarging the feilyA' con s' @reiernhlypi' a strip of asbestosAtoeome next to ihe tire on the inside and zicement composed of coal-tar, resin, and cotton cloth or fiber ii, the whole forming a fire and Water proof lugging, but other material may he used its shall be found convenient whereby to en large the felly t0 iit the tire, This is cut into strips of proper widths and tacked t0 the has been heated to cause it to adhere to the wheel and tire and then to harden.

By the form of lagging and the method herein described of applying the same it will he seen that the legging is cemented to the felly and tire hy the eeinponnd seeking through the nsbestos when the heated tire is placed 011 the wheel and that the strip of an bestos prevents the heated tire from setting lire to the folly, and that by Whieh eonetrnetion. We are enabled to apply a tire to "wheels without (*iitting.
